Chapter 199 Don't Call Me Mom

Xia Liang was still a little worried. At this moment, it would be fine if he did it secretly, but if someone reported him, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he was right.

"No! The policy from above has been gradually relaxed, but you still have to be careful when doing it, or just push it to the village and make it a sideline for the village, then no one will say anything."

"Push it to the village? As a sideline for the village?"

Xia Liang thought about it and felt something was wrong: "We can give this to the village later when we leave. For now, I still want to make money myself!"

"Liangliang, I'm actually not that poor to support you!"

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Xia Liang attached great importance to money.

"I know, but I can also make money! It's not tiring anyway. Don't worry, I know what the most important thing for me now is..."

Ning Zhiyuan sighed helplessly in his heart. It is not a good thing for a daughter-in-law to be too independent.

When he came back in the evening, Xia Liang specifically talked to Aunt Li about the salary. Originally, they planned to pay by piecework, but now neither of them was experienced in the job, so in the end they just decided to pay by the day.

When they returned home in the evening, Aunt Li and Aunt Xu brought some work with them. They had nothing to do at home after dinner, so they could do it for a while.

"Mom, what do you say about one piece a day?"

When she heard the word one dollar, Auntie Li's eyes sparkled: "Liangliang, isn't this a bit too much?"

You have to know that the monthly salary of workers in the town is only about 20 yuan. And can ordinary people become workers? It is impossible.

As for the work points in the village, a family would get at most 20 to 30 yuan a year, and sometimes only a dozen yuan.

Don't we need to buy things with this money? In fact, every household has very little money.

It’s different if you follow Xia Lianggan. One yuan a day, that’s thirty yuan a month, which is more than what they earn in a year.

"Not much. I'll give you bonuses at the end of the month!"

"Mom, you need to worry more about this matter. I will give you more when the time comes!"

"No, no, Liangliang, mom will do it for you, you don't have to give me money!"

Aunt Li quickly refused, but Xia Liang held her hand and said seriously, "Mom, brothers should be clear about this kind of thing. I make money by making this thing. If I use it myself and you make it for me, I will definitely not give you money!"

Auntie Li nodded: "Okay, but don't give me too much."

Xia Liang smiled: "Okay, but you and Aunt Xu are too slow, I want to find a few more quick hands to help. What do you think of the eldest and second sisters-in-law?"

Auntie Li has two sons, both of whom have already married and moved out. Usually during the New Year and other festivals, the family would have a meal together, but they rarely get together on ordinary days.

"Both of them are fine. They are both very skillful. Liangliang, you are so nice!"

Aunt Li was touched. She didn't expect such a good thing to happen. Xia Liang was even thinking about his family.

"They are my sisters-in-law. If something good happens, I will definitely drag them along to make money. So let them come first, and you can take them with you tomorrow!"

Aunt Li naturally had no objection. Xia Liang went home only after everything was settled. She also had to hurry up and make clothes for Aunt Li and the village chief. The fabric had been brought back a long time ago, and she was not used to having work piled up there waiting for her.

Besides, once promised, it must be fulfilled as soon as possible. This has always been her principle.

Ning Zhiyuan saw that there was no one he could help with for the time being, so he brightened the oil lamp.

It's really inconvenient that there is no electricity in this room. Wait, let's provide electricity to the village.

He cannot make the final decision on this matter alone, he needs to discuss it with his superiors.

…

Xia Jing finally arrived at the hospital. Zhou's mother looked unhappy, but when she saw her neighbors on the road, she still smiled.

She couldn't afford to lose face. Xia Jing was famous for her behavior among them. People around them knew that the Zhou family had married an ugly woman and might even be disgraced. People looked at the couple in a strange way.

Zhou's mother wanted to strangle Xia Jing to death. After arriving at the hospital, she asked the doctor to treat Xia Jing's wounds.

"Her wound is quite deep and has been there for a long time. It needs stitches!"

Zhou's mother waved her hands impatiently: "Try to deal with it as quickly as possible, just make it simple!"

The doctor understood. He felt a little horrified when he saw the wound on Xia Jing's face. He didn't know who was so cruel. He scratched her too hard.

The wound had to be cleaned during treatment. Xia Jing was shaking with pain and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

Xia Jing gritted her teeth tightly, and the doctor whispered: "Don't cry, otherwise it will leave scars!"

How could Xia Jing, who used to cry at the slightest injury, bear this? But at this moment, she had no choice but to endure it.

She also wanted the doctor to give her anesthesia, but Zhou's mother was not happy about it. A bottle of anesthetic was not cheap and their family did not have much money.

After finally finishing the process, Xia Jing almost fainted.

Zhou's mother did not go over to help. Xia Jing hated the Zhou family so much, but now she could only rely on them.

"The wound has been treated, you should get ready to go back!"

Zhou's mother had had enough of the way the neighbors looked at her these past two days, and she didn't look kindly at Xia Jing when she got home.

"Mom, didn't the doctor tell me to go to the hospital to have the stitches removed in a few days? Can we wait and see after the stitches are removed?"

Hearing this, Zhou's mother almost jumped up.

"It's just a minor injury, do you really need to go to the hospital to remove the stitches? You can just ask the village doctor to remove them for you. Xia Jing, don't forget that you are still an educated youth sent to the countryside. If you don't go back to work, what will you eat in the future?"

Xia Jing didn't want to go back. Now Zhou Hao didn't live with her, so why would she go back? There wasn't even any food in her yard. Would she go back hungry?

Although I have to face the cold eyes of Zhou's parents here, at least I have something to eat.

When Xia Jing was eating, she was not polite at all, which made Zhou's father and mother stunned. Those who didn't know would think that Xia Jing had not eaten for a long time.

"Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost? Why did my son marry a greedy daughter-in-law like you?"

Hearing this, the thick-skinned Xia Jing blushed. In the past, she didn't eat much, but later she often felt hungry and couldn't eat enough. She got used to being hungry, and when she saw rice, she couldn't help but eat and couldn't control herself.

Every time I eat, I wolf down the food, fearing that if I eat too slowly I won’t be able to catch up.

"I...Mom, I'm just hungry!"

"How many times have I told you not to call me mom? I'm not your mom! Your mom is still in jail!"

Speaking of this, Zhou's mother became even more angry. Now the neighbors don't know what Xia Jing's mother does. If they knew, she didn't know how they would laugh at her!
